The US Navy recruited from the Phillipines pretty heavily during the 60's, 70's, and 80's. So there are pretty significant Filipino populations in cities where there are Navy Bases. So you’ll find Filipinos in unlikely cities like Corpus Christi, TX; Pensacola, FL; and Groton, CT  because there are Navy Bases there.

There is no snobbery or authenticity about it. This is bad (as in garbage bad) brisket and a super poor plate overall. I’m speaking from the standpoint of an amateur who has eaten plenty of brisket.

Bort accidentally walked to Neptune beach from the lemon bar. Police told him dogs are not allowed here and so walked back to lemon bar.

Welcome to the world of PC Master Race. You’ll find that not only is gaming much better with your desktop, but you may be more productive when you do your Kotaku work simply because better equipment means better efficiency.

David Schwimmer plays a total asshole of a captain training paratroopers in Band of Brothers. He denied his soldiers leave for the slightest infraction (slouching at attention, a little rust on a the stock of grease gun, etc.). I couldn't help but think that he was playing the role by conveying Ross in the army. He…

I really need to ask... WTF is a yinz?!

It's actually about ethics in Cosby journalism.

I’m a groom-to-be and I’ll be honest, thinking about the cost of the wedding gives me anxiety attacks and it’s not so much the cost as it is the sheer volume of money that has to go out in a very short span of time. We plan on getting married in April 2016

It’s like 1802 all over again

Casey’s caramel frappucino Starbucks story echoes my own experience with a similar customer in Florida. At the time I frequented a Starbucks in the afternoon on the weekends while reading a book. A woman orders a caramel frappucino and orders the barista to put more caramels not it. Eventually, she squeezed the entire…

I’ve owned the V-Moda Crossfade LP for a few years and the M-100. I use the Crossfade LP for working out and the M-100 for everything else.

If by long story you mean history and your family is from South America, then it’s totally reasonable. A lot of Europeans moved to South America over the years and many people have Germanic last names. For example, one of my coworkers is a light skinned Ecuadorian and his last name is Kretschman. The U.S. perception…

Honestly, I’ve spent hundreds of dollars in attempts to make my two cats happy.

I have AC and ceiling fans in my house in Texas, you’re welcome to swing by anytime and bask in cool temperatures as the outside temperatures hit 95 to 100 with 100% humidity!

love this game. every game is a new experience. in europa universalis, you are a faceless ruler conquering at your whim. but in crusader kings 2, all your enemies have faces and a name and things can get all too personal! i love this game!

The only way to effect any real change in the industry is for a mass uprising from the people who develop the game. Game developers ought to strike when management asks them to work unreasonable and abusive hours when they are called to crunch.

You must have spent some time in audit. Audit is the worst. Not only do you work near-exploitive hours, your pay is low relative to your peers who go into corporate accounting. Again, the only ones who don’t appear to work hours upon hours are the senior managers and partners of the firms.

Not all programming jobs are equal. I’ve had many friends become programmers working on business software (packaged, customizing software, in-house software). They get “hired” on as contractors and are paid an pure hourly rate (no overtime multiplier however). If they do work 12 hours in a day then they get paid for…

Wow, does Riot have a weekly close or something because a 60 hour work week every week for is unrealistic ? While there is “crunch time” in accounting and finance, it shouldn’t extend past the first five business days from when a typical month end close starts.

I still have this guide and I remember being just completely infuriated by it. Now that you brought back my bad memories, I feel like having a barbecue.... With this book!
